We celebrated our first year beyond Australia with a hectic weekend. Friday night saw us in town for drinks with friends. We took advantage of the UK's recently extended drinking hours and indulged in some serious bar hopping. Along the way we met two Australian who've been living in London for six years. They were quickly added to our circle for the evening.
About 4am Garry bundled us on to a night bus for the ride home. I soon realised we were heading in the wrong direction. "You know I don't know my way around London," was Garry's response. Fortunately, as we got off the wrong bus, another traveling in the correct direction drew to a halt beside us. Well, almost the right direction. We still had to walk a good 20 minutes from the drop-off point to get home (or in my case, stagger home).
Saturday saw four friends over for dinner. More wine! One of our guests recently worked on the new BBC production, Robin Hood. We watched the inaugural program before dinner. It's filmed in high-definition. Garry recently upgraded our pay TV service to receive HD which made the program a truly visual feast.
Several guests crashed in the spare room overnight, resulting in a leisurely brunch on Sunday morning. Plans were also made to help them move house this Friday. I'll be in Sweden but Garry's agreed to help if he's available.
